addendum.  Just checked.  Printer is now working??? Don't know what did
that unless it was cleaning the journalctl files.  Is that in a closed
volume under F28?  I had plenty of diskspace, more than 300GiB.

Should I close this now, or is there something I should check to see
what mucked it up in the first place?
